That's what they love about him, he's easily manipulated. All they have to do is praise him and shake something shiny in front of him and he'll do whatever they want.


Brilliant_Cap_3726

Exactly, Trump would be nothing more than a puppet for these billionaires. Helping them bust unions, outsource jobs, and increase taxes on lower income families. All so that they can buy another yacht!


BeachedBottlenose

He appointed unqualified wealthy CEOs to his cabinet posts so they could destroy the foundation. It’ll happen again.


Brilliant_Cap_3726

All those drain the swamp speeches suddenly stopped once he got power and appointed all his Wall Street buddies into office.


Icy-Cod1405

Yeah "drain the swamp" apparently meant putting Goldman Sachs bros in charge. Big "outsider" move there. His base doesn't even remember his first term.


DonJuniorsEmails

Republicans who were kicked to the curb have admitted that the catchphrases "lock her up" & "drain the swamp" & "build a wall" were just focus tested saying with no meaning or policy. They got crowds to cheer, that's all. 


Upstairs-Radish1816

Like Republicans said in 2016, he doesn't have to be smart, he just has to sign the papers the Republican put front of him.


Jeraptha01

Meanwhile his cult blames the dems for being tthe Party of corporate interests Forgetting they worship a ceo


Galadriel_60

I don’t understand why they would make these comments though. Seems like they are concerned. Better late than never.


kekarook

thing is, they need him to be able to remember who is buying him off, if hes too far gone theres no point in bribing him if he cant even pay them back, and from the sounds of things he might be that far gone already


gribbler

sort of like what they say about Mariah Carey..


Brilliant_Cap_3726

[Source](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/14/ceos-at-trump-meeting-not-impressed.html) Trump’s billionaire buddies keep shoveling cash to him even though they know he can’t form a compete thought. Even [CNBC](https://youtu.be/LTm_H_2SACM) is reporting on it. Anything to get those corporate tax breaks!


NoLibrarian5149

So they’ll talk shit about him but still vote for him because he’ll do whatever it takes to make them more money than if they went for Joe. History will look back poorly on a whole lot of people in this time period.


Brilliant_Cap_3726

Agreed. Trump wants to help the rich get richer, every one else are suckers and losers. Meanwhile Biden is creating historic amounts of union jobs and fighting climate change on behalf of ordinary Americans.


bsurfn2day

"Could not keep a straight thought"....They're just now noticing this? Have they been in the bottom of a well for the last 12 years?


TedCruzsAnalFissure

He never knew what he was talking about.


WriterNotFamous

None of that actually matters to them, as long as their taxes get cut.


L_Mook

He’s the perfect puppet, mentally declined perfect for influencing.


IndependentTalk4413

That’s a feature not a bug. They know the people Behind Trump are the ones pulling the strings and behind giving the huge tax breaks, union busting judges, slashing environmental and health and safety regulation. Child labor law role backs and all the other soulless multinational corporate wet dreams.


TECL_Grimsdottir

"However he gives us tax cuts so oh well"


cityofninegates

“And why this is bad for Biden…”


Secondchance002

By any chance you happen to work for NYT?


cityofninegates

Seriously. I used to like the NYT but the past six months have just been brutal.


CapTexAmerica

“But I wrote a check for $10M anyway because I want to pay less taxes “


cerreur

He's gonna make them more money than Biden so they don't care about the rambling.


Johnnygunnz

He's always been meandering... they just refused to see through his word salad.


Tazling

None of that means that they won't band together to get him elected if they think it means more money and power for them. A "mad king George" might be quite beneficial for the oligarchs.


ObjectiveFox9620

CEO s don't need to worry about that. Give him the money and he will do what you ask him to do.


newwriter365

They are just seeing this now?


Ok-Scallion-3415

Does it matter they think he’s mentally unfit when they still give a boatload of cash to his campaign?


burnmenowz

They're still going to vote for him


T_pas

They’ll still vote for him. They just need parrot.


Spirited-Arrival-651

‘But I’ll still vote for him.’


Thunderbird1974

But they will keep giving him money because they think they can manipulate him to give them everything they want if he gets back in office. They don't care if he burns the country down as long as they come out okay in the end. They are as soulless as he is.


Secondchance002

And these are the felon supporting billionaires.


maniacreturns

They're trying to burn it all down to be king of the ashes.


DonJuniorsEmails

Sadly, yes. The media loves trump stories, so if Diaper Don loses again, it's very unlikely he gets another try. Our foreign enemies like Putin know that trump will help neuter NATO, but Biden has been funding Ukraine. Billionaires want tax cuts, and other unscrupulous rich investors would love short selling in another republican economy. Religious nutjobs want to control courts and hurt women, which is a republican goal.


ChallengeSpiritual50

This is news? Trump is an absolute moron.


Seattle_gldr_rdr

All anonymous statements. None of them willing to stand up and shout a warning.


1i73rz

They just noticed?


AdhesivenessFun2060

They'll all still vote for him.


Awkward-Fudge

I wonder if he fell asleep.


superbrew

Well yea he's a useful fat idiot


CalendarAggressive11

"But I will still donate massive amounts of money to get him elected"


Looieanthony

It’s an investment. They know they’ll profit more with republicans(tax cuts etc..). Middle class and poor be damned.


MeanWillSmith

Vast majority of billionaires in the country are in CA, SEA and NY and vote blue.


341orbust

That makes him even better for their needs. 


Obi1NotWan

Did he ever?


e4evie

Won’t stop them from donating…rather than, idk, paying their fair share?!


Similar_Excuse01

then he is prefect for them. it is less jobs for them to manipulate trump than average president


Uncivil_Bar_9778

But they’ll support him because he’ll lower their taxes, while screwing the middle class. “Shareholder value”


PerryNeeum

But they’ll fund his dumb ass because he gives them what they tell him to


OneArmedBrain

Is this the first time they've heard him speak?!


Ohrwurm89

That first quote was accurate decades ago. And yet, these greedy fucks are just now saying it.


Builder_liz

But they get the benefits so just praise him and stay quiet for now


zora1987

Fox News. https://preview.redd.it/f5p03s9e4n6d1.png?width=2099&format=png&auto=webp&s=df3fd9cd42dfbb99c4ef82bdd9b0f1e5849f2919 Can’t imagine why /s .. yes the pic is crooked i apologize lol


ooouroboros

Here is the truth (or at least part of it): These people are actually COUNTING ON TRUMP BEING A PUPPET OF PUTIN. So if Trump is weak and malleable, that almost means he will HAVE to depend on Putin to make decisions, and many awful Americans have fallen under the delusion that Putin is some sort of 'genius' and the 'smartest' man on the planet.


Mc9660385

But his base doesn’t either, so……..


bittlelum

This is how he acts *in public*. They couldn't actually be surprised.


Zeth22xx

That's really scary. They think he can be handled... Couldn't do it the first time, how could they, if he wins again.


FloMoore

That’s the irony of we humans… consciously or not, we tend to actually treat ourselves as we treat others. With Trump, he’s got it bad, his physical health isn’t good, and I’d venture he doesn’t take care of himself at all. And, stress is a killer; it’s all catching up with him.


General_File482

Some wealthy neighborhoods near me have started posting rfk signs and I can’t believe I prefer that voice to this guy.


Dr_CleanBones

Meandering and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. So -business as usual?


teacher_time23

Random CEO - “He sounded like a confused moron…but I want those tax cuts, so…”


Nawoitsol

I’m hoping he holds it together enough to get nominated.
